A graphic editor without group select is like a text editor without word wrap. Here are things you must consider to do it right...

  • Select
    • Drag from empty space
    • Select items totally enclosed
    • Modifiy by
      • Picks
      • More drags
  • Indicators
    • Color
    • Handles (better)
  • Operations
    • Apply to all selected items
      • Unless bound by constraint
      • Unless inappropriate type
      • Unless multiply grouped (rare)
    • Resize in proportion
      • Calculate in float
      • Round on release
    • Animate
      • Element and selection boxes
      • Floating figures (better)
      • In place figures (best)

Such an Editor Exists - It is called AutoCad - What makes it possible is AutoLisp.
